Do you like candy? I know I do. I love chewing gum. It's so sweet, and it will last forever in your mouth. But don't swallow it. You can die from it! Anyway to the story!

Did you know that gum was originally just Native Americans chewing on tree sap? Surprising huh? Well, Native Americans loved to chew the tree sap. They would rip of the bark, and get some sap. When it dries, it would turn into a stretchy substance.
So ,like any sane person would do, they tried to chew on it. It didn't taste very good, but they liked it. So when people tried to learn about the Native Americans, they saw them chew on the sap. So they tried it themselves. The people liked the idea, so they made it a bit better tasting. After that, they gave it to the army so they have something to chew on when they have no food.
After many, many, many generations, someone finally thought to make the gum, candy. Now it took a few years for the first gum to be released, but everyone loved it when it came out. Then other people over generations tried to make it even better.

And that's how we ended up with our gum today. Leave a comment, tell me what you think. Leave a vote! Bye!
